Stupid Kid - Alkaline Trio (Guitar Less)

A three part exercise in playing the guitar without a guitar. All was played on a keyboard (Novation Launchkey 61) using Soundpaint and Native Instrument plugins. As the title indicates: it starts quietly.
The image is one of me working from home in the days before I retired. Things were very different back then: the old twin-floppy valve comptometers required the employment of teams of suitably trained seamstresses to pierce the programme cards to enable the computations to be carried out the following week. Work was hard, but we were happy.

AU REVOIR
I joined SoundCloud in January 2010, the same time I took delivery of my hand-made Harrison Custom Merlin guitar. I have been paying a full subscription since then. Each year, when renewal time comes around, I weigh up whether I should continue paying for an ever diminishing set of tools. Nothing works now: stats (insights) don't add up; I am not informed of likes or comments to any track more than a few months old; the total stats only go back a few years - the first ten years or so don't count.
The platform, over the years, has changed from being musician oriented to listener oriented: in other words, a Spotify wannabe. The final push for me came this week, when, for the first time in sixteen years, my subscription charge was increased by 25%, so I have pulled the plug.
I have decided that I want to move to YouTube and post music with images and maybe animation, if I can figure out how to do it.
As a start, I have posted this - https://youtu.be/-lu0-L_zNHc .
